What are YOU carrying?

[essal]

I can't legally carry a knife, unless I'm hiking or on duty.. I have a bunch of knives, my current favorite is a SOG Trident, which has been a workhorse so far. I also like the CRKT M series blades because of their Carson flipper design.
Leatherman Wave is the best MT out there, I have 3 of them at the moment...

I have a assisted release that I bought in chinatown for $12 that I only use to cut boxes at work. I left it in my pocket last saturday and slept at a girls house that night, havent seen it since. Pretty uncomfortable asking a girl you had a one night stand with if she's seen your shitty switchblade in her house...

Are you guys all outdoors men or rapists?

Stopped fucking around with knives when I was 12.

Out of interest,  how many of you carrying are from the US?

you're a condescending peice of shit.

Yeah, sorry if I come off that way.

I imagine it is partly due to culture and me being a cunt...

However, i was at one of this country's biggest protest spots today (Mong Kok) and I was glad I could be there  without even worrying about guns and knives and shit...

I work for the USFS so do i get a pass?
On some enthocentrism shit, can you not carry knifes in other countries freely? How do you cut rope in your homelands?

kershaws are cool. they have lifetime sharpening and aren't too expensive. nothing is better than a benchmade. period.

Fuck yeah, I've had a few griptilians, and now have a mini barrage and i love it! If anyone wants one for free, go hike around Mt. Gleason near LA and you will invebility find one i dropped. Whoops.
Someone was talking some goods on spider co, and hell yes they make some gems for the price. The same steel on a bench made will cost a hundred more, easily. But benchmades just have that good look to them.

Go on...

 I carry a small kershaaw everyday. As Chris Hanson said it is a great beater knife and keeps it edge. I probably use it everyday as well on boxes and things.  It is handy to have but make sure it complies with your state's carry laws

What do you do for the Forest Service?

[Wizard Fight]

Pretty much just use the scissors and a screwdriver.

[Willie]

A reasonably sized pocket knife is a versatile tool. It shouldn't be thought of as a weapon.

People who carry a "tactical blade" for "self defence" have obviously never read any case law around the use of knives in an attack. Let me just say that if you don't absolutely think you're going to be murdered, don't pull a knife. If you are at risk, go ahead and pull the knife, use it, and enjoy your jail time. Try explaining in court that you had it on you to open mail, or slice your apple at lunch.

Pretty good advice. Here in Philly, carrying just about any blade is illegal unless required for work and you basically need to be in the process of "work" for that exception to apply.

You risk far less legal trouble carrying (or using in a proper circumstance) a gun w/permit than you do with a blade.


That said, Spyderco.

I work do burn area restoration and rare plant species cataloging. After a wildfire is put out, we help monitor the growth of native species and eradicate the invasive ones, and when there is no wildfires we hike all those off trail spots on USGS maps looking for endangered plants and ship the info out to universities and CalFlora.

[brycickle]

Right on. I go to the fires before you get there. Hopefully I'll get the job on my local fire department this go around though.

leatherman sidekick, keep it in my car but never really use it

When I first got married, my wife and I lived in a downtown apartment in San Diego. There was a communal balcony and we were having a drink before heading to a friends house for a Fourth of July party, and then this girl and guy came out with some red wine. Apparently they had been up all night partying(it was now 3 P.M.) and hadn't slept yet. They poured out their lives and red wine to us, discussing the passing of fathers, and how they were having sex while the girl had a rich boyfriend she was using for money and he had a small wiener.

We talked for an hour or two and all of a sudden, the guy looks at me and says, "Do you have a knife?" Other than kitchen knives I didn't own anything special so I said know and he insisted on giving me one he had on him. He explained it like it was a really nice and and I was honored to receive it. Later that night, I looked it up online, and I could buy it for 11.99. Not to say it wasn't a nice gesture, but it was pretty crappy. I ended up selling it for 2 dollars at a garage sale before I moved to Oregon.
